For weeks, I’ve been putting the iPad 10th Generation shockproof cover (Navy) through its paces. This case, specifically designed for the 2022 models (A2696, A2757, and A2777), promises robust protection and convenient features. My goal was to determine if it lives up to the hype. Read on for my complete and unbiased review.

The most striking feature is the integrated pencil holder. It’s a clever design that keeps my Apple Pencil (I tested with both 1st gen and USB-C) readily accessible. No more hunting around for it in my bag! The clear back showcases the iPad’s sleek design while the navy TPU bumper adds a touch of understated elegance. The case also transforms into a viewing and typing stand, although the stability isn’t perfect for extended typing sessions – it’s more suited to casual use. The magnets are strong enough for a reliable hold. The application process was straightforward and quick, with a satisfying “click” confirming a secure fit. The microfiber interior is soft and plush preventing any scratches on the iPad’s screen.

I subjected this case to a series of drop tests (from various heights – please don’t try this at home!), and it consistently exceeded expectations. My iPad emerged unscathed. The four corner airbags absorbed impact effectively. The materials feel premium and durable; I expect it to last for quite some time. The stand functionality proved useful for watching videos and making video calls but was a bit flimsy for writing, but that’s not the main function of the case.

I tested the case under various conditions. It held up well during commutes, at work, and also at home. Despite being exposed to a few spills, the case repelled the liquids fairly well, further bolstering its protective capabilities.

Pros:

• Excellent protection against drops and impacts
• Convenient built-in Apple Pencil holder
• Clear back showcases the iPad’s design
• Easy to apply and remove
• Functional stand for viewing and typing (though not perfect for extended typing)

Cons:

• Stand could be more stable for typing
• Might add a bit of bulk to the iPad
• Limited color options

Overall, this iPad 10th Generation shockproof cover (Model Numbers: A2696/A2757/A2777) delivers on its promises. The protection is outstanding, the built-in pencil holder is a game-changer, and the design is both attractive and functional. While the stand’s stability isn’t perfect, it’s a minor drawback compared to the case’s overall strengths. I highly recommend this case to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish way to protect their iPad 10th Generation.
